David’s Skinny Chocolate Chip Cookies

David’s Skinny Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Not only are these cookies lower in calories; they’re filled with chocolate chips. The original recipe says to shape the dough by hand, but we had better luck dropping it by heaping teaspoons onto the cookie sheets.

Ingredients
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
6 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons 2% reduced-fat milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Sift flour, baking soda and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, brown sugar and sugar with a mixer at medium speed until blended. Beat in egg, milk and vanilla. Add flour mixture and beat until evenly blended. Turn mixer to low speed and add chips. Refrigerate dough 15 minutes.
3. Drop dough by heaping teaspoons 2-inches apart onto baking sheets. Bake 8 to 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool on baking sheets on racks 5 minutes. Remove cookies to racks and cool completely. Yield: 30 cookies.
